Synopsis

Adult film legend Sharon Mitchell stars as herself in Kamikaze Hearts a powerful genre-bending film that focuses on the deteriorating relationship between two lesbian junkies working in the porn world.

Kamikaze Hearts combines narrative fiction with documentary techniques to tell the tumultuous tale of Sharon “Mitch” Mitchell and Tina “Tigr” Mennett, two real-life lovers and junkies. Mitch is an actress, and Tigr is a producer—it’s a match made in hell.

Uncompromisingly underground and fashionably feminist, Kamikaze Hearts will “drag you to a certain place,” according to the L.A. Weekly, and that place is “the world of lesbian-junkie porn stars. If you’re excited by that place... you’ll like this film because it’s so resolutely inside the world of naked bodies, make-believe, addiction, despair, two-bit sleaze, and two-bit dreams.”

Review

This gritty portrayal of the real-life relationship between porn star Sharon Mitchell and her lover, Tigr Mennet, is as far from Desert Hearts as you can get. Sex, drugs and opera (a porn version of "Carmen") figure heavily into the plot and, as Tigr and Mitch play themselves in scenes from their lives, the boundaries between fiction and reality blur. A disturbing, complicated, provocative and even bizarre motion picture.
